tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 4451 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 9:42 pm Really thought this one might be something when I first saw it. Looks really sharp and color is very brassy. Weighed it and it came in overweight for a copper Lincoln at 3.35g. Anyway, eventually spotted on the edge a spot where some dealer or collector did a scratch test, and it's very much copper color in the scratch so I'm in the plated camp with this one. But never saw a plated coin that looked like this one before. 1960 Lincoln Memorial cent damage - plated Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Pillar of the Community United States 9158 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 10:39 pm Nice looking coin - definitely over weight. can you post up the edge where the scratch test was done?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 68974 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 10:48 pm What would have been the objective of plating it in the first place? Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 4451 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 11:26 pm No real idea why people plate coins but this one just looks somewhat unique compared with the hundreds of plated coins I've seen. Sorry but won't be posting image of the scratched edge as not really going to put more time into a damaged coin and it's already in a slip and filed away with my damaged stuff. Things move fast here.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 2385 Posts	Posted 05/17/2022 12:12 am @TROP: If the color of the photo is almost the real one it is bronze color with no doubt. I can not see the sides or the scratches, I believe you say it is plated. If so the weight is in the parameters .for an over coated coins with bronze. What I will not understand why the peoples will damage so nice coin struck. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 19691 Posts	Posted 05/17/2022 04:31 am If your scales is very accurate, then this coin is 0.11gm = 3.5% overweight.. To be sure, check the calibration. The 0.11 gram could account for the weight of the plating, but that would be thick and the struck detail should be a little indistinct. I am left wondering if the coin was struck before it was plated. That would make this coin quite interesting. I agree with Dearborn's request. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 58102 Posts	Posted 05/17/2022 12:11 pm Looks like an earlier die state coin. Thus why it looks so nice. But some fine polishing lines may have polished for the first time. Richard S.
